.#Thread Our procurement process unfortunately hasn’t kept pace with requirements of time. Many the procedural lacunae have crept into acquisition process due to overbearing nature of our rules & regulations, leading to a ‘Zero Error Syndrome’: @adgpi Chief Gen Naranave @USI_1870

Needs of Info Era Warfare cant b hamstrung by procedures of Industrial Age. Need of the hour is to have metamorphosis here too, perhaps even doing away wth concept of L1 vendor altogether. For real transformation 2 take place, we require a Revolution in Bureaucratic Affairs: COAS

We have also brought about major structural changes in our organisation by aligning both the revenue and capital routes of procurement under the Deputy Chief of Army Staff (Capability Development and Sustenance): Gen Naravane @USI_1870

Shimla based Army Training Command has restructured the training curriculum of various courses. We are working towards Domain Specialisation in niche areas. There is focus on providing cross-domain exposure and multi-skilling for optimal employment: Gen Naravane @adgpi @USI_1870

We cannot hope to fight and win the next war with legacy structures evolved from the past. Our force structures must be agile, flexible, modular and networked. They should reflect the realities and challenges of the contemporary battlefield: COAS Gen Naravane @USI_1870

Our structures must support faster decision making. Ingoing transformation into Integrated Battle Groups #IBG not only configures the structure to its operational task but also shortens the OODA loop by removing a layer from the existing hierarchy of command and control: COAS

“What we hv achieved thus far, is merely jointness for industrial era; we need 2 transit rapidly 2 full scale integration for digital era combat as also in pursuit of greater interoperability. Its hard enough to b joint, difficulties in interoperability will b many times greater”

The race for dual-use cutting edge technology the world over, has led to an unprecedented civil-military fusion not seen in past. Military, technology entrepreneurs and traditional centres of excellence in science, are coming together for the larger military good: Gen Naravane
